'Chipotle Ordering' Back in App Store

Tuesday August 25, 2009 9:13 am PDT by Marianne Schultz


The Chipotle Ordering app is back in the App Store after only a short period of availability earlier this year. First appearing in January, the app was live for only a few hours and then pulled due to unanticipated demand that overloaded the servers handling orders. At that time, the plan was to have the app return to the App Store after a couple of weeks.



The app offers the ability to locate nearby Chipotle restaurants and browse the menu. Desired items can be ordered and paid for with a credit card. Favorite menu items can be saved for future orders.

The Chipotle Ordering app is free and can be found in the App Store here (link opens iTunes).

...but man, that last one was horrible. Love to know who did that one and who they replaced them with.

Solid app, but doesn't allow custom orders. My kids usually get off menu stuff like rice and beans, a bean and cheese burrito, or a quesadilla. Can't figure out how to do that, which means I sadly won't be using it, generally.

For an individual this is just a fun toy, but if you've ever been given the task of going to buy lunch for 12 coworkers then this program will make your life SO much better!

Actually - it's very handy for the individual who's in a meeting and wants to order as they're wrapping up.

Or in my case - when I want to order as I'm walking over since it's a good 5 minute walk from my office...

I wonder if they fixed the store hours problem. Multiple times it allowed me to place an order for pick up after the store had closed.

This is such a good idea. More fast food places should do this (Starbucks, I'm looking at you...)

Can you specify what you want on it?

And does anyone know what happens at the store? Does it come out as a printout, or appear on a screen? I'd prefer paperless, so I'd probably only use this in the latter case.

From what I've seen, it prints out a small, itemized receipt that they build the order from and then hand to you. Not paperless, but efficient.

The primary reason to use the app is that you get to skip to the front of the line no matter how long it is.

Exactly. I just used it for an order for 7 people. It still has some oddities ... when you enter your first order, it asks you to "Name your order" so I used our company name. Then every other person got the same prompt, but it's not exactly clear that it's adding it to the previous 'bag' or beginning a new order ... turns out the prompt should really ask "What is your name?" or "Who is this order for"?

Also, could not find a way to edit an order after it was placed in the cart.

At least the food will be good.
